Lapd Gives More Jackson Memorial Details

5 July 2009 1:47 PM, PDT

Don't say we didn't warn you: If you don't have a ticket to the Michael Jackson memorial, don't go downtown. The Los Angeles Police Department held a briefing Sunday morning to discuss the ever expanding list of details surrounding Tuesday's events and once again, police advised fans to stay home.

The funerals of other well-known icons, Elvis and Princess Diana, drew some 75,000 and 250,000 mourners, respectively, and taking into consideration Jackson's worldwide fame, the Lapd is...

The First 'Harry Potter' Reviews...

5 July 2009 2:22 PM, PDT

Critics are loving "Half-Blood Prince," which opens July 15.

By Wrap Staff

The reviews are starting to come in, and "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is getting raves.

 

Variety's take: "Dazzlingly well made and perhaps deliberately less fanciful than the previous entries, this one is played in a mode closer to palpable life-or-death drama than any of the others and is quite effective as such."

New Brothers Trailer Hits

5 July 2009 9:18 AM, PDT

Jim Sheridan, director of In America and In The Name of the Father, has been out of the picture ever since Get Rich Or Die Tryin'.

It'd be far too easy and immature to devote an entire interview to asking Evan Rachel Wood, the 21-year-old Golden Globe-nominated actress of Thirteen and Running With Scissors, about her attraction (fictional and otherwise) to older men.
